I think you all have definitely highlighted for me the fact that I need to do take more care in this situation - I really had no understanding to begin with. I think being set in my mind as to doing things my way, and always questioning doctors put my ego in front instead of the health of my baby.

If it does happen again for real, I know that I will be approaching it with a different mindset, and feeling out the situation as it comes.
Thing is, it's up to your caregivers to actually explain this to you, rather than just insisting you do x or y. Of course you wouldn't do anything to knowingly harm your baby! Why would they assume asking questions meant you would put your baby at risk? It's totally unacceptable - except under extreme, life-and-death circumstances - for medical carers to do anything without your ok.

Hope baby stays put for a bit & all the best
